the toads come out and seem to know where

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the Railroads.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
delivered opinions in several cases to-day.
The case of Ralph w. Thacher of Schenec-
tady, n. T., against the Fitchburg railroad
and others, embodies the complaint that,
whereas the defendants formerly accepted
grain for transportation from the COMPLAIN
ants elevator, to Boston at the proportion of
through lates from Chicago, allowed to lines
east OF Schenectady, which was practically
six cents per hundred, they now demand
local rates which are considerably higher.
Restoration is asked for. The opinion says:
1t is not claimed that the rates with which the
complaint fluids fault are in conflict with the
that they exceed what roads accept on through
business as their proportion of the rates fixed at
distsnt points III that Is In any sense contrary to
law, the illegallty would not be corrected by conf
pelling the road 10 accept upon shipments from
Schenectady rates less than are charged from sta
tons further east. We cannot correct one alleged
complainant thinks rates from Schenectady and
intermediate points to Boston and Boston points,
are excessive he can raise that question directly
upon mll investigation OF the fact The COM
plant is dismissed.
A decision was given in the Burton Stock
Car case to the effect that there is no appar-
dered to pay mileage. The cases entitled
Louis harrison against the Grand Trunk
Railroad and the Michigan Central Railroad
against the Grand Trunk Railroad were, by
consent Of the parties, heard together. The
charge is of unjust discrimination. Harrison
complains that the road would not sell him
thousand mile ticket at the price paid by
commercial travellers, and the Michigan Cen
trail complains that the Grand Trunk was
selling to commercial travellers at:lower rates
than to the public generally. The opinion
concludes that the common carrier may con-
tinue the issuance of mileage passenger tick
cts. charges for which must be reasonable
and just and free from unjust discrimination
or unreasonable preferences. Commercial
travellers are not privileged to ride over rail-
roads at lower rates than paid by other per-
travellers are made to pay, otheI travellers
may be made to pay. To charge one more
than the other is unjust discrimination and
this is true whether the tickets issued are
mileage tickets or in some other form.

PAYMAsTER's CLERK PAYNE.
Awaiting Court Martial Charged
With EmbezzIing $4,000.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July 25.-Intense ex-
citement has been caused here this evening
by the report that Richard HI. Payne, pay
masters clerk under Paymaster Putnam at
the Portsmouth Navy Yard has been arrested,
charged with the embezzlement of the pay
masters funds. Payne was arrested late this
afternoon on United States criminal pro-
cess, charging him with embezzling about
$500, and was Immediately arraigned before
United States Commissioner Hackett. He
pleaded not guilty. Before further action
was taken detail of marines, under the
command of marine officer arrived and af-
ter consideration, Payne was turned over to
the marines for detention, to await naval
court martial. He was taken to the Navy
Yard under guard and confued in the ma
rine barracks. Payne is about 45 years old
and has been paymaster's clerk in the navy
for 20 years, nearly all of which have been
spent at this station. Payne for two years
has been in the overall business here, as the
leading spirit and manager of the Granite
State Manufacturing Company. 1t is be-
lieved that loans in business absorbed the
embezzled funds. The matter awaits
the order OF the court martial by Secretary
Whitney

LAW NND EABOk.
The New Ten n-Hour System and Some
of Its Workings.

AUGUSTA, July 25.-Last Saturday the
Labor Commissioner went to Waterville
and inspected the Lockwood Mills. Except
the existence of some feeling among those
who work by the piece, he found everything
moving on smoothly. Those who work by
the day are getting as much as they did be-
fore the ten-hour system went into effect,
while those who work by the piece have one
hour less to work day, and so do not make
as much as those paid by the day. Aside
from this matter of piece work, everything
Is running along smoothly, and the opera
tives express themselves as pleased with the
new ten-hour law. OF course the law is new
yet, and it will require time to adjust all
matters connected with it.
Mr.. Matthews finds that in his investiga-
tions he is troubled somewhat by the care
lessness with which manufacturers and la
borers answer the questions propounded by
the blanks which he sends out. Accuracy
seems to be wanting.

A STRIKE AT LISBON.
French Canadian Weavers Who
Want More Pay.

LISBON, July 25.-The French Canadian
weavers at Farwell Mills, Lisbon, demanded
of Agent Miles, last Friday, an advance of
five cents on cut Agent Miles has just re-
turned from Boston, where he has been to
consult the mill owners, and the request will
not be recognized, Monday morning seven
ty-iye of the one hundred weavers remained
out on strike Agent Miles states that the
majority of his help work by the piece. No
complaint has been made except by the
weavers. Business does not warrant the ad-
vance claimed, and the mill cannot afford to
grant it. The Farwell mill has always been
the first to advance wages, and has always
paid its operatives as literally as business
would warrant, and always as high as any
other mill on the same class of work He
offered the committee to pay expenses, and
go with them to any other mill for inyesti-
CATION, and would advance their pay if other
mills were found to be paying more than he
did

CHICAGO HUNTING.
Police and Detectives Looking for
BoodIer McCarigIe.

CHICAGO, July 25.-W. ]. McGarigle, the
convicted boodler, has escaped, and all the
police and detectives are out hunting for
him. McGarigle was formerly chief of po-
lice. He became go-between for the board
of county commissioners, nearly every MEM
Der of which is now under Indictment. Sat-
nrday evening, Sheriff Matson drove McGar-
lgle to his house, and while there, on pre-
tence OF wishing to take bath, the boodler
escape.
:. The escape was the principal topic at po-
lice headquarters and the sheriff office to-
day. At neither place, however, could any
thing be learned regarding the whereabouts
of the fugitive. The unsuccessful search
which began early Sunday, resulted in moth
ing. There is no clue as to the direction
taken by the notorious boodler nor anything
discovered to settle the question whether he
started for some foreign shore or is still in
hiding in the city,

Powder Mills Blow Up Second Time
Within a Year.

WARREN, July 25.-The Warren mill blew
up this morning at o'clock. They had
started up the kernelling mill, in which were
thirty kegs of powder three minutes previ-
GUS to the explosion. George Shepherd, aged
80 years, at work in the mill, was killed, be-
ing literally torn to pieces. He belonged in
Union, and was unmarried. The explosion
was heard in Rockland, Thomaston, and the
surrounding towns. The same mill was
blown up in February last. The building
was entirely demolished. There was about
ton and ahalf of powder in the building
The total loss is estimated at $2500.

singles, double and base on balls, ran
the score up 70 TO- where It staid for the re-
their only run In the ninth, on hits by Cud-
worth and Duffy. In the seventh they got a
man around to third on couple OF close de-
cisions, but the necessary hit TO bring him In
was not Forthcoming. Mahoney umpired,
and so our Lowell contemporaries will find
hard work to excuse the defeat. He was
rather critical on balls and strikes, and Hat
field was obliged to find the centre Of tie
plate every time, no corners being allowed.
Whatever close decisions were made were In
favor Of the visitors, but still nothing OF
such nature as 10 be seriously complained

new edition was not printed for his benefit,
however, and the procession moved right

notes, but he was not much Of a success at
the business. The score:
